It is freshly stored in my memory, still.
31-Mar-2013, Sunday
It was a dull Sunday evening, as usual, I was doing my routine FB checking. Then, something in FB's news feed caught my attention. It is a post about a live game show called Pretty Fun, in Chinese, 《女王100 FUN》which organised by 8TV《八度空间》. The words, courage (胆量), creative (创意), confidence (信心) and challenge(挑战) stimulate my audacity to join the contest. Looking at the closing date, I was so lucky. The day I came across this post was literally the last day for registration! Without much hesitation, I sent my profile to 8TV.
Few days later, I received a call from 8TV saying that I was shortlisted and required to go for next audition at One Utama Shopping Mall. I was once thinking to give up during the audition day as I saw a lot of young, pretty and energetic girls which actually diminished my confidence. Anyhow, I was greatly rejoiced that I did not chicken out of this audition eventually. Thanks God for giving me such good fortune. I succeeded in the audition and moved on to game show shooting. :)
The audition was held at One Utama Shopping Mall on 11-Apr-2013, Thursday
- Lucky Number 7! -
I received another call from 8TV few weeks later to confirm the shooting date. I was told that the theme for my game show is "Mount Hiking" (登山记) and the shooting will be started 2 days later. I was like.... OMG?! 2 days later? Seriously, I had no time to shop for the attire due to short notice. My mind was totally blank when I looked at my wardrobe. Without further ado, I simply grabbed a short sleeve white hoodie, a purple singlet, a black elastic skinny and a pair of leopard running shoe. Okay, all set for shooting!
The game show shooting was taken on 30-May-2013, Thursday
- In front of 8TV, Bandar Utama -
I was hoping that leopard running shoe will give me more power and energy to run faster!

We were so lucky to have indoor shooting! As far as I know, other groups' game show shooting mostly were done outdoor. Our shooting was taken at MadMonkeyz Climbing Gym, an indoor bouldering gym centre which situated at Jalan Metrowangsa, KL.
This was only preliminary stage. However, the prize is very inviting! The winner will be rewarded RM1000 cash and proceed to semi final. Of course, there is no free lunch in this world. To win RM1000 cash, the participants (4 participants per group) need to go through few challenging tasks in terms of speed, skill, concentration and stamina. The game will be carried out by using elimination method.
The game is begun with self introduction and a short description of how our attire best fit "Mount Hiking" theme. Each of us must try our level best to convince others to vote for you. Guess what, I earned the most votes for this section, surprisingly. The host, Hansen Lee told me that I'll be given privilege for next section of game. Yeah~

The next challenge is more on speed and skill. We were taught on how to gear up the rock climbing accessories. As I'm the winner for last section, I could start the game 10 seconds in advance. In spite of the 10 seconds privilege granted, I could not win in this section though as I've forgotten what the trainer had taught us just now. Oh yea, this was caused by my nervous tendencies. The competing atmosphere makes me tension to the max! Mission failed. :'( Kie is winner for this round.
I was given privilege to start gearing up the rock climbing accessories 10 seconds ahead of other participants.
Moved on to the team work part. Four of us were required to complete the mission together within the time frame given. Within 15 minutes, we need to dismantle the selected climbing rocks from the ceiling, wash the climbing rocks up to the satisfaction of 8TV producer and then restore the climbing rocks to the ceiling again. We actually managed to restore all the climbing rocks to the ceiling on time, but the bad news is we had restored the climbing rocks to the wrong place which are not in accordance to the original location. Thus, our mission is failed! Even though we failed the mission, in fact we did a very good job. I was impressed with our good team work. Thumbs up!
Ongoing overuse of neck muscles (looking up to the ceiling) caused stiff neck and neck pain.
We were trying hard to remove the stubborn dirt from the climbing rock.
This is team work!

Here comes the most cruel part of the game. Each of us has to eliminate one of the group members whom you think possessed poorest performance during the team work. Ouch...seriously we do not want anyone to be kicked out. I rather prefer the game is executed by elimination based on competency. Yay, the voting result turned out to be fair whereby each of us gained 1 vote respectively. However, the elimination is still on. It will base on luck this time. The host, Hansen Lee will draw the unlucky person out of this game. Awwww..how cruel is this! Unfortunately, Joyyie is out! :(
The survivors, Kie, Phoen and I defeated the bad fortune and proceed to the next challenge. This game is focused on concentration and balancing. For the first round, 3 of us had the difficulty in getting onto the balancing straps. Our legs were shivered to the max yet we still trying hard to figure out the balancing point. After 1 round, we roughly knew how to balance ourselves on the waving straps. We tip-toed (like a cat) on the balancing straps to minimize the frequency of waving. The final result for this section as follows :
Kie : 24 seconds
Li Cheng : 17 seconds (Yes, I won in this section!)
Phoen : Fell down half way
Imagine there are numerous of crocodiles underneath, you will definitely walk on the waving balancing straps quickly but steady.
Ahaaaaaaa.....~
The long awaited final challenge of preliminary stage is finally reached. What is the challenge about? Yes, it is none other than ROCK CLIMBING! Excited!
FINAL CHALLENGE : Li Cheng vs Kie
The one who reaches the game point and get the flag will be the winner! RM1000 cash will belong to her! Whoot!
I was paused at the swing part. I've no idea how to swing and move on to the opposite wall. End up swinging like a monkey. LOL. As I had used up my energy to hold myself up there, my hands started to shiver and slowed down when I swang over to the opposite wall. Then, I saw Kie expedited her action and finally she got the flag!
We were almost the same speed in the beginning.
Swing like a monkey. LOL.
Finally, Kie got the flag! She is the winner!

This is an awesome and unforgettable experience for me.
Endurance, Persistence and Concentration are the keys to success. Never give up so soon until you've tried your best!
Although I failed to proceed to the next stage, however, I was surprised with my courage to confront with the challenging tasks given. The outcome was exceeded my expectation!
Last but not least, not forgetting my cheerful and friendly group mates for being supportive throughout the game show even though it was our first met.
Special thanks to 8TV production team!
Glad to know all of you :)
